Rockets down 13-11 first media timeout.
First it was all offense, now it is all defense. Tied at 13 at the second media timeout.
Some real bad shots and shot selection there for awhile, for both teams. Kent definitely gets after you defensively. Both teams have ended long scoring droughts. 18-18 third media timeout.
Toledo 21 Kent St 18 under 4:00 timeout.
Toledo up 27-22 at the half.
Toledo had a balanced attack in the first half:
Shafir 7
Mays 4
Clifton 4
Goodall 4
Richardson 4
Williams 3
Ingersoll 1
Toledo is playing good defense as well. Both teams struggling offensively. Jessica Williams just hit a big 3. UT up 32-24 first media timeout of the second half.
Yolanda Richardson has 5 blocked shots.
Toledo is picking it up offensively. UT 41 KSU 29 under 12:00 timeout.
47-35 Rockets 7:45 to go.
Here comes Kent. 47-41 6:02 to go timeout Rockets. We are not handling the full court press well.
49-43 Rockets under 4:00 timeout.
Toledo 51 KSU 47. 59.9 to go. Toledo out of timeouts.
Rockets barely hang on to win 51-49.
The last 8 minutes were excruciating.
Toledo struggled mightily with Kent's press. It looked like the Rockets only had one ball handler, Naama. Free throw shooting was brutal. Fortunately we survived to play another day. Go Rockets!
Thanks for the updates! Glad UT was able to hang on!!
Toledo was 4-14 from the foul line, Kent was 14-18, it could have been the difference in the game, fortunately it was not.
The Rockets did hold Kent to 25% shooting for the game.

I am continually amazed at how poorly the Lady Rockets can play at times and yet win 24 games. If they could ever learn to put a team away or to put it all together for an entire game they would be unbeatable. Tomorrow would be a good time for that to happen because BG is on a mission having won both of their tourney games by margins of more than 30 points.
